Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia have been fully cleared by Rouse Avenue Court in the Delhi liquor policy controversy, a decision affecting 23 individuals. Rajya Sabha member and ex-cricketer Harbhajan Singh marked the occasion with a heartfelt social media tribute.
He posted a picture of the relieved leaders in a gesture of namaste, accompanied by the profound words ‘Satyamev Jayate.’ This endorsement portrays the acquittal as the ultimate affirmation of their integrity against baseless accusations.
Punjab AAP MLA Kuldeep Dhaliwal called it the unraveling of a grand BJP conspiracy designed to eradicate the party. ‘Their lies, spread relentlessly with other parties’ help, have collapsed like a house of cards,’ he remarked. He accused the BJP of weaponizing agencies to imprison leaders, overlooking the unassailable power of truth.
The CBI, undeterred, has approached Delhi High Court with a revision petition against the trial court’s order. The court had declined to proceed with charges, citing the prosecution’s failure to demonstrate a viable case for trial.
This ruling revitalizes AAP’s campaign against perceived political persecution, with Harbhajan’s voice amplifying the message to a broader audience. It highlights the intricate dance of law, politics, and public opinion in India, where such verdicts can shift power dynamics. With appeals pending, the saga continues, but for now, the chant of truth prevailing echoes strongly.
